Questions to ask your supplier

If you're ready to make a difference to the welfare of farm animals, here are some questions to ask your supplier.

EGGS

1. Are the eggs they supply produced in a cage, barn or free-range system?
2. If the eggs are produced in a cage system, strongly consider finding a supplier of cage-free eggs instead.
3. If the eggs are produced in a barn or free-range system, do they carry appropriate certification from the RSPCA or another reputable authority (such as Free Range Egg and Poultry Australia or Certified Organic)?

CHICKEN

1. Is the chicken they supply from farms that don’t give their birds access to the outdoors?
2. If yes, then strongly consider finding a supplier of free-range chicken.
3. If your chicken is free-range, does it carry appropriate certification from a trusted organisation like Free Range Egg and Poultry Australia or Certified Organic?

PORK

1. Is the pork they supply produced from farms that use sow stalls and farrowing crates?
2. If yes, then strongly consider finding a supplier of free-range, bred free-range or RSPCA Approved pork.
3. If your supplier does source higher welfare pork products then do they carry trusted certification that denotes a higher welfare standard?
